Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 25, 1908.

To all whom it may concern: Be it known that I, RoY BEVERLY, a citi- .zen of the United States, residing at Melfa,

in the-county of Accomac and State of Virgmia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Kitchen-Cabinets and I do declare the following'to be a full, clear, and exact description as will enable others skilled the art to which it appertains to make and use the same. a v

This invention relates to a combined cabi net, refrigerator and table.

The object of the invention is to combine three pieces of furniture in one, which when in closed position, presents the appearance of an ornamental cabinet, which greatly economizes space, rendering the article especially adapts for use in small houses or apartments.

In the accompanying drawin s,Figure 1 represents a 'front elevation of t e cabinet in its normal position with one door of the re fiigerator open; Fig. 2 represents a side elevation thereof; Fig. 3 represents a erspective view showing the cabinet with t e table in position for use, and the or china closet exposed; Fig. 4 represents a longitudi- 'nal section through the closed cabinet. 30

In the embodiment illustrated, a cabinet is shown the with s elves, as 2, to receive dishes or other articles, and a refrigerator3 is formed in the lower portion thereof. This refrigerator 3 has a top 4, for the ice box 5 thereof which forms the lower shelfof the dish safe or closet I and the food compartments 6 and 7 of the refrigerator are arranged below the ice box and provided with the usual doors 8 and 9.

A drip pipe 5 of ordinary form, leads from the ice box 5 to any suitable point of discharge, and it may have a' vessel placed thereunder, or it may be connected with a sewer pipe, as desired.

Hinged at one end to the to of the refrigerator 3 at the lower end of t e dish safe is a member 10, which when in raised position, forms a closure for the dish closet, and presents an ornamental outer face or front, and when lowered forms a table. This convertible table member 10 is provided at its hinged end with an outwardly opening door 11, to afford access to the ice box when the member 10 is in raised or normal position, forming a closure for the dish closet. At

the invention, such upper part 1 of which is provided mplication filed October 7.1907. Serial reassess.

face, is hingedly mounted a pair of" legs, 'as 12, for supporting said member 10, when lowered for use as a table. These legs 12 are preferably secured to a strip 13, which extends transversely across the member 10 near its free end on the outer face thereof, and is hinged thereto, and when folded up lies close against the outer face of the member 10, and presents an ornamental appearance.

the 'free end of the outer face of the member 10, and projects there beyond to form a ledge on which rests, when in open osition, an extension leaf 15 of the table. his leaf An ornamental strip 14, extends across 15 is hinged to the free end of the member 10,

and when open lies flush therewith, and

when the member 10 is raised, this leaf 15' extends over and rests on the to of the dish closet 1, said leaf being preferably of a width to correspond with the depth of the closet I to present a sightly appearance when closed. Fastening means are arranged on opposite sides of the closet 1, preferably near its top, to engage the member 10 when raised, and hold it thus securely in place. These means as shown, consist of, hooks, as 17, mounted on the sides of the safe 1, and which engage headed studs, as 18, on the member 1 0. A shelf 19 is preferably arranged on'the outer'face of the member 10 between the door 11 and the leg strip 13, andwhich may be used for any desired purpose. If desired, a curtain 20 may be arranged,- in front of the dish compartment or safe to screen and protect the dishes when the member 10 is in use as a table.

I claim as my inye'ntion:

1. In an article of the class described, the

combination of a refrigerator having ashelv-ed vertical extension arranged there; above to form a cabinet, a member hingedly connected at one end to said refrigerator adjacent the lower end of said cabinet and adapted to form a closure therefor, a foldable support connected with the free end of said member to adapt it when open for use as a table, means for holding said member in raised position, and a door arranged in said member near its hinged end to afford access to the ice box of the refrigerator, the inner face of said door being flush with the inner face of said hinged member to form a smooth unbroken surface when used as a table.

2. In an article of the class described, the

the free end of this member 10 on its outer combination of a refrigerator having a raised position, a door arranged in said member near its hinged end to afford access to the ice box of the refrigerator, a leaf hingedly connectedWith the free end of said hinged member and adapted to extend transversely thereof and flush therewith, anda strip secured to the outer face of the free end of said member and projecting beyond the edge thereof to form a support for said leaf when open and an ornament for the top of the 4 cabinet when closed.

The combination of a cabinet having a refrigerator formed in the lowerpant thereof, and a dish closet in its upper portion, a member hingedly mounted thereon to form a closure for said closet in one position and a table when in its other H position, foldable means carried by said member to form a support for said hinged member when open,

and as a decoration when closed, and a curtain suspended from the top 'of said closet to form a closure therefor "when the hinged member is used as a table.

4. The combination ofa cabinet having a refrigerator formed in the lower part thereof, and a dish closet in its upper portion, a member hingedly mounted thereon to form a closure for said closet in one position, and ,a table when in-its other position, and foldable means carried by-said member.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set r my hand in presence of two subscribing witncsses, j, n n I f --ROY BEVERLY.
